Centre court, 1, 2, 3, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19

So rich possibillity to see your favourite

First big surprise is perfect - Sara Errani is out defeated by Monica Puig from Puerto Rico 63 62:clap An interesting player so players be aware of her - she's good.

I think the WTA tour is beginning to catch up with up with the less than 60 mph 2nd serve or Errani.

If you go to lshunter.tv, they have a stream for court 18. I'm watching the Youzhny match now. Sloane and Jamie are last on this court today.

What's wrong w/ Vika? I just turned it on and she's being attended to by the trainer in the middle of a game where she has and AD.

 

[tossip]

she seems to have a knee injury....oh no.

 

[the AntiPusher]

she seems to have a knee injury....oh no.

Man, I hate to see anyone suffer an injury like that. They needs to relax the rules about not having anyone playing on those courts before the tournament begins.. its far to dangerous for all the players playing on that slick surface.

 

[kskate2]

Vika comes through in straights despite the knee. We'll have to see how she feels going forward. She was hobbling and wincing alot toward the end.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Vika is into the second round, she won 1-2
Eugeine "Genie" Bouchard is also into the second round, one of my young favs.

I feel sorry for Sara but then she is lousy on this surface....

Maha and JJ are playing their respective matches.

 

[tossip]

there is something desperate about pova...she seems agitated..not settled.

---

wow ...Mledonovic is prettier and sexier than pova

 

[kskate2]

Why is Sharapova struggling w/ Mledonovic? Anybody watching? They are in a first set breaker now.

 

[tossip]

because she is not that good...on grass:nono.after watchig this match Ican safely say pova is not good on grass and her camp look worried.:snigger

? How did she win the most prestigeous tennis tournament in world then? She is probably a whole lot better than you think.

 

[kskate2]

I think Tossip means she's not as good on grass as she used to be. There's been talk over the last few years that as her clay game got better, her grass game has declined and her results over the last 5 years at Wimby have something to do w/ that opinion as well.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

JJ won in straights and Masha promptly won the first set tie-breaker.

Masha is just having first round jitters...

 

[MashaFan]

Good start for Masha who defeated Kristina Mladenovic (FRA) 76, 63 in her first match on grass this year - Once Masha had won the tiebreaker and the first set she played more confident and relaxed - some amazing points from Masha in this match - Next opponent will be M.Larcher De Brito -

- Well done Masha!!!

Just a little reminder - Masha was the runner up in Wimbledon 2011 - so she can't be that bad - We'll see how far she can take it this year - Good luck Masha!!!
